it's bout time the IS got a few Omnis too. just so there's a bit of equality on the "not exactly sure what that mech could be carrying" front.

and before people whine about the "they're stuck with IS XLs" most IS Omnis where also known for being extremely well armored, tough, and quite a few were also pretty fast for their respective weight classes, which definitely would balance out the added vulnerabilty of being stuck with an IS XL, for instance, the IS Light Omni, the Raptor. 25 ton mech, prime variant carries three LRM5s, two MLas, Two SLas and two MGs, base max speed of roughly 120, and carries 3 and a half tons of of armor, which is equivalent to a clan Mist Lynx, which is the same weight and speed bracket as it, and they even have similar hitboxes. don't really see any problem with including it, and it'd be a pretty solid light choice.

I may be stuck on the MekTek and Mechassault versions of the Blood Asp, but the side torso's look like they could stand to be a bit wider. The Blood Asp was supposedly tall as ****, and as it sits now, it looks a bit weird to be tall and skinny (ish?)

[Hauptmann Keg Steiner]

As far as IS Omnis go, the Hauptmann and the Strider have standard engines (and speedier Lights probably want XLs anyway). The Word of Blake's Celestial Omnis mostly have Light engines, but are so chock-full of Jihad-era tech that I doubt we're ever seeing them.

[Daemonara]

Some of you mentioned the Warhammer IIC, my wallet is scared of the day that machine will be released (along with the Rifleman IIC). I needs them so bad...

There is also http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Men_Shen which might have Raven hitboxes and seems quite solid overall. As for Hauptmann, it still should not be any worse than Gojira and would be able to fit just about any conceivable loadout, so also a good choice. And Jihad-level tech should still come eventually, so the Celestials are still a possibility, if not now then perhaps next year.

Guys:
Well, I'm pulling the trigger and pre-ordering the Blood Asp.
Sure she has bad points but this is 1 of my all time favorite mechs.
Fell in love with her on MechWarrior 4-Mercs, Mech Commander 2 and MA 2 Lone Wolf.
Nice how they was able to combine the one from TR 3060 and the one from MWLL.
Yes we are missing the trade mark "beak" but we gain a much better field of view.
It will be fun trying ballistics or missiles or lasers in the high mounts and sniping the enemy..
See you on the battlefield & have a good day.

hi Guys
the 80t canis would have been a good alternative to the Bloodasp
www.sarna.net/wiki/Canis
it has even become from mektek to lore: D

kind regards

IS ER PPC: 13.5 heat, direct 10 damage, 4 second cooldown, 1900 velocity, 3 slots, 7 tons.
Clan ER PPC: 14.5 heat, direct 10 damage with 2.5 splash damage to either side, 5 second cooldown, 1500 velocity, 2 slots, 6 tons.

So the Clan EER PPC could have possible rough stats of say: 13.5/14 heat, 12 direct damage, 4 second cooldown, 1800/1900 velocity, 3 slots, 7 tons.

I was thinking more like;
14 heat, 4.5s cooldown, 1700 velocity

Maybe that's being over cautious, but cooldown, velocity and heat should be somewhere between the C-ERPPC & IS-ERPPC.

Not one of them has MASC ... aaaaaaaaaaand like that I´m out again .

[HammerMaster]

Another assault we don't need.
Another not a Rifleman IIc.
Another not a balance/faction/game engine overhaul.
I'm finding less reasons to buy the next mech pack in general.

[Steel Claws]

If we are on the subject of the next mech to add. Templar....

i would love to see the templar in mwo because i like the looks, but for what purpose? its basically just a slightly lighter Mauler, not really that ideal.

on the topic of the Blood Asp, it looks awesome but wont buy it bc i only rarely play clan and clan assaults for that matter. but i think its quite awesome that the prime, the best variant imo, is in the normal pack and not in the reinforcement package neither the hero variant.

I think the head should be a but lower but still cool stuff. I'm always looking forward to fighting new mechs, as long as they don't completely overpower existing ones.



The Kodiak is not overpowered, it is actually very weak with a huge CT and clan ballistics kinds suck.

IT WAS...is more his point... it was THE clan OP assault for many months, then came the nerf herding, and now its merely better than a dire wolf. The clan ballistics were better at the time the Kodiak arrived as well.

[VXJaeger]

Another gauss+energyvomit mech. Nice.
What will be nerfed this time?

Both, gausses and lasers of course, what do you expect will happen, Jaeger ^^

[BallSabre]

I stared at the mech for a long time thinking "there is something wrong here"

and I finally got it!

The mech's legs are too straight! How many times has this happened already! Please fix before release PGI!

[Antares102]

60° torso yaw anyone?

[ImperialKnight]

in before screams of OP.

BAS-A CT for ECM and JJ, BAS-A 6E on arms, 4B on high mounted side torso using BAS-D (or 2B using BAS-A if you're not shelling out for the reinforcements)

[KrocodockleTheBooBoxLoader-GetIn]

For IS Argus, Sunder, Avatar, Templar.
For clan Hellhound, Firemoth, Warhammer iic, Griffin iic, Shadowhawk iic.

There is quite a lot of differences between a Templar and a Mauler. Differences that would make, well a big difference.

• The Templar is an Omnimech
  
• The Templar can mount JJs
  
• The Templar has a few variants equipped with ECM.
  
• Its far more agile
  
• Its much faster
